GMO ingredients being served at almost all restaurants: Vegetable Oil, Canola Oil, Cooking Spray, Corn, All Soy Products, Sugar, Honey, Papaya, Zucchini and Crookneck Squash, "All Natural / Antibiotic Free/ Free Range Cheese, Meat and Eggs" (Almost all fed 100% GMO grains), Farm Raised Fish (fed GMOs) coming soon to a restaurant near you, GMO Salmon! Your guide to finding Non GMO organic restaurants. Unfortunately, almost all restaurants are serving them, but luckily there are a few that are not. We focus only on "natural / organic/ local/ sustainable" restaurants because these are the least likely to have them, but sorry to say even most of them serve some GMOs. All commercial restaurants are using GMOs, so we try to find the organic ones who are serving the least amount of them. We also reveal who is claiming to be organic / sustainable but who are really using GMOs. This site is designed to educate you on how to avoid GMOs while eating out as well as to celebrate the wonderful organic restaurants who are committed to serving clean, healthy, non genetically modified real food. We have vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and grass fed meat restaurants on our list. Please let us know if you have any restaurants that are serving mostly real food and should be on our site. Please note that this list is not regularly updated, so this is a general guideline, please ask specific questions when you go to any of these restaurants and please notify us if you get information that is different than what appears on this site.

Taste of Nepal - Sebastopol Organic, Gluten Free, and Vegan Nepalese food. We have heard great things about this place so far.

Hip Chick Farms Kitchen -Sebastopol- Cute cafe organic chicken nugget tasting room with homemade sauces. They also have great salads and gluten free options as well. Uses local and organic/ non gmo ingredients. Very casual. Good for a quick lunch.

Barrio Fresca Cocina Mexican Food - The Barlow Sebastopol - Great place to grab and go a quick lunch, brunch, or dinner. Everything is organic and non GMO. They have their own organic farm nearby that they get the veggies from. They use Strauss dairy and Stemple Creek beef, the best of the best ingredients.

Flower & Bone and The Naked Pig -in Santa Rosa- Another great restaurant that serves local and organic pastured raised meat and local organic veggies.

Vignette Pizzeria - At the Barlow in Sebastopol - Artisan Pizza and salad place. The owner is carefully about sourcing ingredients and doesn't use any GMO oils. The dough is sourdough, no yeast, and he uses the older wheat varities from Italy. Fantastic pizza. Uses local organic produce. Not sure if the peperoni is non GMO or not.

These Sonoma/ Napa County Restaurants might be serving some GMO suspected ingredients, but you may still be able to get a non gmo meal here.

Ramen Gaijin - Sebastopol - Very unique Japanese restaurant in Sebastopol. Food is delicious, and they are well known for their creative craft cocktails as well. They use a lot of local and organic produce and eggs. They do use commercial soy sauce that is most likely GMO. You can request things to be gluten free though which usually means omitting the GMO soy sauce. All the pork is marinated in the soy sauce, so you have to avoid that. Some of the eggs are soaked in the commercial soy sauce as well. They cook in peanut oil (which is non gmo as it is not in production) Their chicken comes from Petaluma Poultry which is supposed to be all Non GMO verified. Pork comes from Oregeon, but I did not confirm if it is Non GMO as all the pork is marinated in the commercial soy sauce anyway. To avoid GMOs here: Always order gluten free as this will often eliminate the GMO soy sauce, there are a few dishes you can get that most likely do not contain GMOs. See below for list.

Here are the Ramen items you can order without the commercial soy sauce.

The Kara-Age (Fried Chicken) The fried chicken that they add to Ramen is Gluten Free (fried in rice flower). You can also just get an order of this on the side as well.

There are other side dishes and such too that are GF and do not contain the commercial GMO soy sauce. Always confirm though when ordering and be sure to voice your opinion if you want them to use a Non GMO soy sauce instead.
